| Coda 8 amp I ran a Coda #8 with my KEF Reference 1 speakers for a couple years, it will drive yours with ease. Mine is up for sale right now, not because I don’t like it, I just stumbled on some new gear and will stick with it for a while. | |
| DIY Spekon Cable For Rel I have a REL sub as well, but it currently sits idle. If you really want to optimize you might use some OCC wire. Check out: https://www.soniccraft.com/index.php/neotech-wire-teflon-strand-cu-c-296_175_183_230?osCsid=gv7ifg16andlno4jah4935ln72 T... | |
| System advice I am sorry to hear that your upgrade did not go as planned. I am not familiar with the sound of Naim equipment, but regardless it is on the low end power-wise for the speakers. I could not find exact specs on the speakers as there are a lot of Mon... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @evank Did you ever try a new cable? Funny you should ask, I just plugged in an Audio Sensibility Signature OCC Silver cable between the Smoothlan and my Innuos yesterday. I would call the results positive, cleaner, tighter and better definit... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Jerry’s accounting is sound thinking from an audiophile standpoint, but if you put a slug in your amp and the amp fails massively and somehow starts a fire, you might be out more than the cost of the amp. It is unlikely of course, but it is the re... | |
| New Amp Advice @sls883 Whoa! That’s a nice system! I am envious of the cables alone. 😀 The Coda is an excellent amp, the Audionet just suits my listening habits and my room a little better. | |
| New Amp Advice @sls883 No, I wish. I have the Amp 1 v2. https://en.audionet.de/machines/amp-i-v2/ | |
| New Amp Advice @jc4659 Mind expanding on your comment that the Audionet amp was very different from the Coda amp? How? Which Coda amp? Thanks! I have a Coda #8 amp, version 1. Up for sale if there is interest. I recommend you read through this thread where @... | |
| New Amp Advice You will get a lot of recommendations, I can only offer that I recently replaced my Coda with an Audionet Amp 1 and I am in love with it. Both are great amps, but very different. If you can find a way to audition this brand, I think it would be wo... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? Or you can go Class D, but do your research. | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? So what spec do I look at instead of wattage? Wattage is a good spec in this case. What you want to see is something like: 200 watts into 8 ohms 400 watts into 4 ohms Either, 800 watts into 2 ohms, or, Stable at 2 ohms. Doubling the wattage... | |
| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. Acoustic Zen is a good choice. However, I am not sure that it is the best use of funds, as your speakers may not be resolving enough to display the charms of high end cables. | |
| Thickest Power cord with Power distributor? I would run the Zavfino to the amp and plug that directly into the wall. Then use the C3 for the rest of the components. | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? My guess is that this amplifier is thinning out at high volumes and can’t keep up with the demands of the music and the speakers. A high current amp of the same wattage would probably sound fuller at high volumes and might scratch the itch. I woul... | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer Reduced line noise could be considered an improvement in transfer. Subjective and marketing fluff to be sure, but technically probably correct. "Audio signal" is used as an understandable term for non-technical buyers. Minor stuff, this is not a t... |
